Introducing his latest project, Gaurav explains, “ As they say “You can take an Indian out of India but not India out of an Indian.” And no ones knows it better than us living here . So we decided to come up with something that would cater to the needs of others like us residing far away from the motherland. DesiBeat’s offerings revolve around this target group. South Asian Americans comprise people from mainly India, followed by Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma, Bhutan and Nepal. Even people from the Caribbean, East Africa and Fiji identify themselves as Bollywood music lovers. This population will be astonishing by 2010 which underlines its importance for marketers.
